This is the one I use.
You did notice that this was WiFi 'G' which is outdated by at least 10 years; right? They went to WiFi 'N' from there, and it provides ~ 300 Mbps. They are now moving into WiFi AC, which provides up to, I think, 1500 Mbps. Why would anyone buy a 'G' rated WiFi accessory?
The answer is simple. Because we don't actually need N or AC. I mechanical Hard drive runs at 300mbps at a theoretical max. That means that N in the best case scenario N can barely keep up with the computer. We don't have computers that can keep up with AC yet, and it will be many years until we do. The marketing geniuses make us think we need something that we do not actually need.
Most people on a home connection with a brand new computer can barely use N. Go to a campground with lousy internet to begin with, chances is your G WIFI will run circles around their network.
